Chapter 131 Alliance of Qin and Chu

The news that Zhao Dun killed his king spread instantly among the states of Zhou and Zhou. The Jin State was so powerful that it could be said to be the strongest among the states of Zhou and Zhou, but now a minister committed regicide.

But thinking about Zhao Dun's power, they didn't dare to say anything. After all, Zhao Dun led the Jin army and taught many countries a lesson. Even Qi, Chu and Qin were beaten violently by him.

Others did not dare to say anything more, but Dong Hu, the historian of Jin State, was an iron-headed man. He directly wrote the words "Zhao Dun killed his king" in the history book.

He also appealed to the court to explain the reasons. Zhao Dun was speechless and had no choice but to let him record it.

After all, Jin Linggong was indeed killed by his clan brother, and he did not kill his clan brother because of this incident.

Although Zhao Dun killed Jin Linggong, his influence was not over. After the death of Jin Linggong, another son of Jin Wengong returned to the country to inherit the position of Jinhou.

This Jin Hou was much smarter than Jin Linggong. The first thing he did after taking the throne was to announce that Zhao Dun had not killed Jin Linggong, defended Zhao Dun, and eased the relationship between the prince and Zhao Dun.

Then the second thing is to restore the official positions of the public family and expand the power of the public family.

After Zhao Dun killed his king, the Marquis of Jin realized that without the protection of the Duke, he could no longer restrain the Six Ministers. Therefore, he could only restore the official positions of the Jin Dukes decades ago and wanted to use the Dukes.

The power of the Chamber of Commerce is against the increasingly powerful Liu Qing.

It's a pity that the Six Ministers have become powerful. Even if the public clan is their wing, it will be very difficult to eliminate them.

However, a balance was found between the Dukes of Jin and the officials, and the internal fighting in Jin was limited to a certain range.

In comparison, the situation of Qi State is not much better. The last time Qi State and Jin State went to war, the reason was that the Marquis of Qi laughed at the commander of Jin State as a lame. Just laugh at him. He didn't laugh in front of his face at the beginning.

Chuke of the Jin State was lame. When he came to make an alliance with the Marquis of Qi, the Marquis of Qi wanted to laugh out loud. Fortunately, he had received professional training and could not hold back his laughter.

But after Chok left, he couldn't help it anymore and burst into laughter. Of course, this was not a failure, after all, he didn't laugh in front of his face. But his laughter aroused the curiosity of his mother.

His mother asked what was so funny, and the Marquis of Qi said that the commander-in-chief of the Jin State was lame. The Marquis of Qi's mother also thought it was funny, but because she had not seen it with her own eyes, she felt it was not enough. The Marquis of Qi said, this matter is easy to handle.

Ah, if I invite him to a banquet tomorrow, wouldn’t it be obvious if my mother is hiding behind the curtain to watch?

So the next day, the Marquis of Qi sent someone to invite Chu Ke to the banquet, and asked his mother to hide behind the curtain to observe. Sure enough, when he saw Chu Ke coming with a limp, he felt particularly funny. The Marquis of Qi was shocked

People with professional training can hold it back, but Qi Hou's mother had not received any training, so she immediately laughed out loud.

Chuke was the sixth minister of the Jin State. How could he bear such humiliation? He immediately walked away. After returning, he began to look for opportunities to attack the Qi State. The Jin State and the Qi State fought several times and almost captured the Marquis of Qi alive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, his ministers changed clothes with Qi Hou and allowed Qi Hou to escape.

This incident made Qihou become a joke among the princes.

Qi and Jin were at odds with each other, so Wang Jin no longer worried about the north, so he continued to follow his strategy to deal with Chu.

The forward position against Chu State was Chao State, and Jinling was also very important because it guarded the Yangtze River waterway. At the same time, after Shu State was annexed by Chu State, Jinling was also close to the border of Chu State.

So Wang Jin began to regard Jinling as an important base for his invasion of Chu.

Since the annexation of the Yue State, the Chu State has felt great pressure, especially since there was also hostility between the Chu State and the Jin State. This has resulted in the Chu State needing to face threats from both the Jin State and the Huai State, one from the north and the other from the east. So in order to be able to

To reduce the pressure, Chu State sent envoys to fight with Jin State's old rival Qin State.

During the war with the Quanrong, the Qin State gradually became stronger. It was no longer satisfied with the west and also wanted to enter the Central Plains. However, the Qin State's eastern passage, the ancient Hanhan Road, was controlled by the Jin State.

How could the Jin State agree to the Qin State going east to compete with them for the hegemony? They directly blocked the Qin State to the west of Huohan.

Both Qin and Chu had frictions with Jin, so after a simple communication, Qin and Chu hit it off immediately and began to marry.

Marquis Mu of Chu passed away, and his son Lu came to the throne. As soon as Marquis Chu came to the throne, the Yue Kingdom perished. In order to reduce the pressure, Marquis Chu married his sister to Marquis Qin.

Chu State, Yingdu.

"Brother." A girl walked in hurriedly.

"Li, you're here." Chu Hou raised his head and smiled as he watched a graceful young woman walk in.

This woman is dignified and beautiful. She is a rare beauty.

"Li, your marriage has been decided. Qin Hou is a very good person. After arriving in Qin, you should get along well with Qin Hou and stop acting like a child!" Chu Hou said with some reluctance.

Li Mi Bingxue was smart and knew that her brother was marrying him to Qin for the sake of Chu. This was also the fate of the children of the royal family. She immediately said: "Brother, don't worry, after my sister arrives in Qin, she will help maintain the good relations between the two countries."

.”

"Hey, thank you for your hard work!" Chu Hou sighed.

Yongdu.

This is the capital of the Qin State. Since King Xuan enfeoffed the Qin State, the Qin State has become a big country after more than two hundred years of hard work.

Because the people of Qin lived in places where Yi and Di were everywhere, they fought wars all year round, so the princes of Qin in the past dynasties were all good at conquering and fighting.

The Marquis of Qin of this generation is a commander who is good at conquering and fighting. After all, if he is not good at conquering and fighting, Qin may one day be attacked and destroyed by the Yi and Di.

You must know that Quanrong and Xirong are both powerful Rongdi tribes. Except for some differences in habits, these two tribes are not much different from Bangzhou.

Otherwise, there would not have been the disaster of King Li. King Ping moved eastward, forcing the Zhou family to abandon the land of Longxing in Zhou Dynasty.

The younger brother of the Marquis of Qin led an army to welcome the princess of Chu back, and then married the Marquis of Qin.

Qin and Chu began to form an alliance. After the alliance, the two countries began to deal with Jin together. Although Qin and Huai both came from the Yin Shang Dynasty, there were still differences. Qin completely surrendered to Zhou Dynasty, but Huai could

no.

Of course, Qin and Chu were dealing with Jin. Chu just wanted Qin to hold Jin back so that Chu could deal with Huai. With the help of Qin, the pressure on Chu to deal with Jin was suddenly reduced a lot. This also allowed Chu to deal with Jin.

The country has more strength to deal with Huai State.

Wang Jin mobilized the people and began to expand Jinling City. For a long time in the future, Jinling will be an important node for Huai State to attack Chu State. At the same time, it is also a nail that Chu State can't wait to pull out.
